Volatilization of heavy metals during incineration of municipal solid wastes

Incineration experiments with MSW, which had been impregnated with heavy metals, were presented to obtain information on the volatilization behavior of the elements cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) under different conditions. Experiments were carried out in a bubbling fluid bed system connected to a customized inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy(ICP-OES) for analyzing metals in the flue gas. The results indicated that the combustion temperature, the gas atmosphere, and the chlorine content in the flue gas could affect the volatilization behavior of heavy metals. In the fluidized bed combustion, a large surface area was provided by the bed sand particles, and they may act as absorbents for the gaseous ash-forming compound. Comparer with the metals Cd and Pb, the vaporization of Zn was low. The formation of stable compounds such as ZnO.Al2O3 could greatly decrease the metals volatilization. The presence of chlorine would enhance the volatilization of heavy metals by increasing the formation of metal chlorides. However, when the oxygen content was high, the chlorinating reaction was kinetically hindered, which heavy metals release would be delayed.     

Preparation and catalytic properties of ZrO2-Al2O3 composite oxide supported nickel catalysts for methane reforming with carbon dioxide

ZrO2-Al2O3 composite oxides and supported Ni catalysts were prepared, and characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The catalytic performance and carbon deposition was also investigated. This mesoporous composite oxide is shown to be a promising catalyst support. An increase in the catalytic activity and stability of methane and carbon dioxide reforming reaction was resulted from the zirconia addition, especially at 5wt% ZrO2 content. The Ni catalyst supported ZrO2-Al2O3 has a strong resistance to sintering and the carbon deposition in a relatively long-term reaction.     

Stabilization effects of surplus soft clay with cement and GBF slag

Utilization of industrial waste and surplus construction soft clay as construction material was recommended, and many attempts at geotechnical waste utilization were undertaken. This study aimed at the application of cement and a kind of industrial wastes, i.e. granulated blast furnace slag, on stabilization of surplus soft clay. The results showed that the cement and slag can successfully stabilize Ariake clays even though this high organic clay fails to be stabilized by lime and cement. Addition of slag in cement for stabilization induces higher strength than cement alone for longer curing time. The application of the cement with slag is more suitable than cement alone for stabilization because of economical consideration.

基于3D体外培养模型的化学物质肝毒性预测研究进展

精准预测化学物质肝毒性对保护人类生命健康安全具有重要意义。为了避免动物实验固有的物种间差异性和局限性,开发和利用与人源肝脏生理功能直接相关的体外模型至关重要。三维(3D)体外细胞培养模型相比于二维(2D)模型能更好地保留肝细胞代谢功能,再现肝脏内多种细胞相互作用的复杂环境,是体外模拟肝脏生理功能的一大进步,并初步在药物毒性评估方面获得应用的同时,也被引入到环境毒理学领域用于预测环境化学物质的肝毒性。本文介绍了目前常用3D体外细胞培养模型的制备方法,综述了其在环境化学物质(纳米材料、持久性有机污染物和新型有机污染物等)肝毒性预测方面的应用现状,最后探讨了3D肝细胞体外培养模型在有害结局路径指导下开展肝毒性预测的研究与应用前景。

金沙江上游圭利滑坡发育特征及运动过程分析∗

金沙江上游构造破碎、岩体结构复杂,区内大型‐巨型滑坡发育,历史上发生过多次滑坡堵江事件。圭利滑坡位于西藏江达县金沙江西岸,滑坡变形严重,大小拉裂缝、垮塌几乎覆盖整个滑坡,变形程度有不断增加的趋势,失稳后将对金沙江下游造成巨大威胁。在野外调查的基础上,通过对金沙江上游圭利滑坡发育特征的分析,选取 Massflow 数值计算模型对该滑坡失稳运动过程进行预测分析,获取了滑坡在不同时刻的堆积状态及运动速度。结果表明,滑坡整体运动时长约为 40 s,最大滑动速度达到 31 m/s,最大堆积厚度为 51 m;前缘向两侧扩散的最大距离约为 220 m,并全部堵塞金沙江;滑坡各区域的速度曲线反映出滑坡运动过程具有突发性、彻底性、整体性、流态性的特点。

湖南省工业领域碳减排与空气质量改善协同

气候变暖和空气污染是我国当前面临的主要环境问题.综合使用中国碳核算数据库、能源经济模型和空气质量模型,研究我国湖南省工业领域潜在碳达峰路径及其空气质量协同改善增益.基于中国碳核算数据库和相关工业/能源统计年鉴分析指出,湖南省2019年CO₂排放总量为310.6 Mt,其中工业领域排放占比超70%,主要来自于电力、蒸汽、热力的生产和供应业,非金属矿物制品业及黑色金属的冶炼和压延业等行业.综合考虑未来各工业行业经济增长速率、能源技术进步程度和能源结构优化调整等因素,使用LEAP能源经济模型设置并分析了3种潜在的工业碳达峰情景,包括趋势照常情景（2030年达峰）、中度减排情景（2028年达峰）和强化减排情景（2025年达峰）.进一步结合人为源大气污染物排放清单和区域空气质量模型WRF-Chem,以排放行业-部门的同源对应关系为桥梁,模拟分析不同碳达峰路径下空气质量改善响应.结果指出,在3种碳达峰情景中,主要大气污染物浓度均有所降低,长株潭地区尤为显著;强化减排情景力度最大,中度减排情景次之,趋势照常情景相对最弱.制造业减污降碳的协同效果最佳,在不同情景实现碳达峰时,可分别减少ρ（PM_2.5）和ρ（PM₁₀）年均值0.6~1.8 μg·m^-3和1.8~8.9 μg·m^-3.研究可为国家和区域的减污降碳协同实践提供参考和决策依据.
